Device Description
This product is an orthodontic bracket and is used with orthodontic wire materials and other orthodontic products to treat malocclusion of the upper and lower teeth. It is used to correct teeth by transmitting physical force to each tooth, and is a selfligation bracket using a ceramic body and a metal cap made of a metal material. Shelf-life is not applicable because of the low likelihood of time-dependent product degradation.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and design of an orthodontic bracket, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
This device, an orthodontic bracket, is used to correct malocclusion by transmitting physical force to teeth, which constitutes a therapeutic action.

No

The device description clearly states it is an "orthodontic bracket" used to "correct teeth by transmitting physical force," which describes a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one. No diagnostic claims are made in the intended use or device description.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an orthodontic bracket made of ceramic and metal, which are physical hardware components.

Based on the provided information, the Vatech Clismile is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Vatech Clismile's Function: The description clearly states that the Vatech Clismile is an orthodontic bracket used to apply physical force to teeth for orthodontic movement. It is a physical device used directly on the teeth, not for analyzing biological specimens.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any analysis of biological samples, chemical reactions, or diagnostic purposes related to bodily fluids or tissues.

Therefore, the Vatech Clismile falls under the category of a medical device used for treatment (orthodontic correction), not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies

IN-OVATION C and Vatech Clismile have the same composition and raw material of the components constituting the device, and the purpose and principle of operation of the calibration bracket are the same. Bracket generally uses a one-kit product consisting of 20 brackets. The K100-552-81 model of In-Ovation-C is composed of 16 ceramic and 4 metal brackets, and the Clismile is also composed of the same number of sets.

The ceramic bracket is composed of alumina (Body) and Ni-Co alloy (Cap, MP35N)

The design characteristics of the product were evaluated for seven items specified in ISO 27020, which is a bracket standard. As representative products, dimensional analysis of "Clismile 12-1223" and "IN-OVATION C H100-132-81" corresponding to the maximum canine was conducted, and it was confirmed that the dimensions were the same within the error range.

Dear Dave Kim:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products.

The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal
